Workshops

CYT runs a number of Workshop Programs for 7 – 25 year olds throughout the year around Canberra. Each Workshop is led by a tutor who is also a professional artist in their field.

CYT has been providing a space for young people to be creative and actively develop fundamental theatre making skills for more than 45 years. With our home base at Gorman Arts Centre for most of these years, we continue to run our semester-long Gorman Arts Centre Workshop Program for young artists aged 7 – 18 years. Classes typically run for an hour and a half to two hours.

Our semester-long Primary School Workshop Program provides an opportunity for students attending particular primary schools around Canberra to creatively develop their performance skills through drama games and activities. Classes typically run for an hour starting soon after the final bell rings.

Our Holiday Workshop Program for 7 – 12 year olds runs for a week during all school holidays. It is a fun program filled with drama games and activities, culminating in a performance.

Throughout the year we also run Specialised Intensives for our older members. These cover a range of areas of theatre and performance, and typically run for two to three days.

If these programs aren’t exactly what you’re looking for we also offer Workshops By Design, where a unique Workshop is tailor-made to meet your needs, or the needs of your school group, community organisation or business.
